Learning how to create video content for your business can be a very effective tool to market your products, services and/or experiences. If you’re a business owner interested in creating entry-level video content for your company but, don’t have the financial resources to hire a professional film production company then this workshop is for you.

This workshop will be led by Daniel Nalladurai from Sixty First Productions, a Queens-based film & media production company that creates commercials, films or branded-content. Daniel Nalladurai is a filmmaker and co-founder of Sixty First Productions. Daniel partners with executives, start-ups and entrepreneurs to grow their personal and professional brands by telling their stories through video. After spending nearly 5 years working on independent films as an editor, cinematographer and director, Daniel followed his entrepreneurial desires and started his own film/media production company with his partner, Helena Kincaid-Nalladurai. Since starting Sixty First Productions, Daniel has worked with companies throughout the greater New York area and local institutions in Queens, creating branded video content. He’s a storyteller, and a proud New Yorker at the end of the day and continues to tell interesting stories, in whatever form that takes.
